Amidst concerns about Rohit Sharma\u2019s below-par form, India bowling coach Morne Morkel backed the premier batter to break out of the rut soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard work [against] the new ball up front and we\u2019ve seen that in the entire series,\u201d said Morkel, on match-eve.<\/p>\n

\u201cRohit, no doubt, will work it out. He\u2019s done it in the past, and he is experienced. He brings calmness to the batting line-up. So without a doubt, no worries and concerns at all with the way he\u2019s going about things.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the four-wicket loss in Cardiff, India couldn\u2019t break the English middle-order\u2019s resistance as Joe Root carried the home side with a patient 133-ball unbeaten 99. But India did not have the services of spinner Washington Sundar, who had sustained a hamstring injury while batting.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, the way we bowled in the last game was exceptional,\u201d Morkel opined. \u201cJust looking at the numbers, the high speeds that the boys generated and the areas that we bowled in were great to see.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went in wanting to use Prasidh [Krishna] and Gurnoor [Brar] with their extra bounce in the middle phase. We\u2019ll keep on working on ways to get those break-throughs.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Joe played exceptionally well… classy innings there. We\u2019ve got a couple of plans in place and hopefully they will work [on Sunday].\u201d<\/p>\n

The former South Africa pacer backed the Indian batters to shine even in the likelihood of the Lord\u2019s pitch not being conducive to free-flowing run-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur top and middle-orders are very experienced. They are very well aware of how to form partnerships, and that\u2019s going to be the key. In the last game, we looked pretty set to get to that 280-300 mark, but unfortunately lost a couple of wickets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 50-over game is about partnerships, and if we can form that with bat and ball, it will be an exciting game for us,\u201d the 41-year-old added.<\/p>\n
